To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, BERNERD G. BURLING- HAUSEN, of Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain 2 is a transverse vertical section with portions in elevation;

A represents the rim of the wheel, to which are attached the spokes a, yarranged in pairs and separated, as shown, engaging, respectively, the hubs B. Spindles C are secured to the hubs and extend inward and are provided with the cranks c. Between the hubs and cranks are journaled on their respective spindles the hangers D, that support the cross-piece E, to which are attached the seat F and the balance-rod G. The cross-piece E is secured by screw-bolts e, extending through the hangers, by means of which the hangers are pressed against the ends of the cross-piece and the (No model.)

parts held firmly in position. By loosening these bolts the cross-piece may be turned and thehangers swung'back and forward, so as to adjust the seat in the position required. As the operator must sit some distance back of the axis of the Wheel some force is required to support or balance the seat and operate in the required position, and this is furnished by the sliding weight H secured byaset-screw on the rod G. A11 adjustable foot-rest, I, isvsecured to the sliding block Il that embraces the rod G, and is secured in position thereon by a setscrew. A curved rod, K, is secured to the seat and supports the awning L, which, of

course, retains its relative position to the seat in whatever position the latter may be adjusted.
